Abstract excerpt
The nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) pathway functions not only to degrade transcripts containing premature termination codons (PTC), but also to regulate the transcriptome. UPF3B and RBM8A, important components of NMD, have been implicated in various forms of intellectual disability (ID) and Thrombocytopenia with Absent Radius (TAR) syndrome, which is also associated with ID. To gauge the contribution of other...
